Olu Maintain with his NMVA plaque
Few
days after winning Best Reggae Video of The Year at the just concluded
Nigeria Music Video Awards (NMVA) with the artistic NAWTI video,
multiple awards winning artiste, Olumide Adegbulu popularly known as Olu
Maintain has released two new songs featuring two popular America
artistes, Olivia and Fatman Scoop.
Olu indeed had an eventful 2012.
His last single, NAWTI was one of the most popular songs of 2012. The
song won him several awards including Best Video of The Year at the
Nigeria Entertainment Awards in New-York and Best Reggae/Dancehall Video
of the year at Nigeria Music Video Awards. And now, Olu is sure ready
for greater exploits in 2013 with the release of two songs in the
beginning of 2013.
The
two songs are titled Hypnotize and Oya Dancia. Hypnotize is a well
crafted melodious song with well arranged strings and horns that will
mesmerize first listeners. The smooth vocal delivery of Olu and Olivia
on the song makes it a classic collaboration and one of the songs that
will rule the airwaves in 2013. Oya Dancia is a party starter and
definitely one of the songs to rule the parties in 2013. The DJs
definitely can’t resist the influenece of Fatman Scoop on the song.
With
these new songs, Olu is sure ready to start his career in 2013 on a
very high note. Speaking concerning the new songs, Olu said it is high
time he dropped something new. “It is a public knowledge that NAWTI was
well accepted and even till now, the song is still in hot demand. I’ve
been getting lots of calls and messages from friends and fans asking me
when am I releasing my next singles and I thank them all for the love.
The two songs I’m releasing now are part of the songs on my album titled
Choosen One and I’m very sure lots of people will enjoy it as much as
they enjoyed NAWTI. It is better way to start 2013”.
A
day after winning NMVA Best Reggae Video of the Year in Lagos on
December 20, 2012, Olu Maintain made an appearance at the EME Baddest
Concert on December 21. While performing Big Boy with Banky W, a song
originally written by eLDee Da Don featuring both artistes, the crowd
went wild for Olu and eventually requested that he performed Nawti. The
performance of Nawti was described by all as one of the major high
points of the evening. Being the first major performance of the song
since its release, the crowd, especially the ladies took out time to
dance to the melodious rhythm of the song. And being a versatile
artiste, Olu didn’t fail to impress with his stage craft.
Rumour has it that these singles will be premiered in less than 48 hours.
